Mapping Car Accidents in Birmingham

The Open Transport EU Car Accidents map is a visualization of 28,519 car accidents in the UK city of Birmingham. The map uses Open Transport EU's own WebGLayer JavaScript library for exploring coordinated multiple views of location data.

As well as the heatmap the Open Transport EU Car Accidents map includes a number of interactive graphs which show the number of car accidents in the city by day of the week, time of day, severity of accident, the speed limit and by date.

Each of these graphs can also be used to explore the data in detail. Using the graphs to filter the results shown on the map means that you can view accident hot-spots in Birmingham by time of day, day of the week etc.
